Fever
Elisa Toffoli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
why do you need a plan in your mind?
why do you smile if you don't want to?
why do you act if this is all true?
how can you keep your wish inside you?
how can I just forget about you?
when I can never lie to you
when I can never hide it from you
you would know what's taking place in my mind
but your world has got the fever
you are killing it with your reasons
your world has got the fever
‘n you step on it, ‘n you don't see it…
why do we end up being so lonely?
now where have your eyes gone if nothing scares you?
why is this all just never enough
to make you happy, to stop your thinking?
but your world has got the fever
you are killing it with your reasons
your world has got the fever
‘n you step on it, ‘n you don't see it…
(think I'm falling give me your hand…)
I was walking by when I saw a bird in the sky
‘n I followed its flight with my eyes
I felt like I could take myself up there
and it just made me smile inside
and it just made me fall in love
with everything, everything…
world has got the fever
you are killing it with your reasons
your world has got the fever
‘n you step on it, ‘n you don't see it…
your world has got the fever
you are killing it with your reasons
your world has got the fever
It is shaking ‘n you jump on it…
your world has got the fever
you are killing it with your reasons
your world has got the fever
has got the fever, has got the fever…
Elisa Toffoli's song Fever is about someone who is constantly questioning and analyzing everything around them. The lyrics suggest that this person is always thinking and planning, but never seems to be satisfied, leading to feelings of loneliness and dissatisfaction. The repetition of the line "your world has got the fever" emphasizes the idea that the world is not as it should be, and that people like the singer are contributing to this fever by overthinking and overanalyzing.
The bird in the sky serves as a symbol of freedom and escape from the feverish world, and the singer finds herself falling in love with everything, suggesting a desire for simplicity and contentment. However, the repeating chorus reminds us that the fever is all around us, and we must be aware of the negative impact our actions have on the world.

It is shaking ‘n you jump on it…
The world is in turmoil and you are exacerbating the problem
